“Exit game!”
After making his selection, as the words fell, the surroundings began to distort. Unlike before, he didn’t exit immediately. In an instant, Chen Fei’s consciousness returned to his body inside the game pod. He quickly pushed it open and stepped out, only to find two skills imprinted in his mind: ‘Invisibility’ and ‘Shadow Strike’!
Moreover, there was a vast space in his mind. Qing was looking around in confusion, seemingly unsure of what had just happened. Beside Qing, a black concealment cloak floated in the air. Chen Fei realized that with just a thought, he could manifest them from his mind.
He walked over to the bed, focused his thoughts, and instantly, two beams of light appeared before him: one was the concealment cloak, and the other was the bewildered Qing. Qing suddenly appeared in this new environment, feeling out of place with all the modern surroundings. Then she saw a familiar figure. Was it Mama?
“Mama? Why has your face changed? And why does your aura feel so weak? No, I’ve become so weak too!” Qing was panicking, feeling quite unsettled by the unfamiliarity of it all.
“Don’t worry, didn’t you want to come along? I just brought you here. This is where I grew up,” Chen Fei explained, glancing at the concealment cloak before putting it on. Hmm, not bad. Qing looked at Chen Fei, then leaped up with all her might, landing on his head.
“Mama, I’m scared…” Chen Fei sighed and held Qing in his arms, introducing her to this world. “This is a light bulb… this is a refrigerator… this is…”
He went through the items in the room one by one. Qing gradually calmed down and became curious about everything. Compared to the game world, this place was like paradise! Especially after seeing all the delicious food in Chen Fei’s refrigerator. After downing a bottle of ice-cold Coca-Cola, Qing couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Mama, why don’t we just stay here? There’s so much delicious food and fun things to do!”
Of course, Chen Fei couldn’t agree to that. If he did, it would be like waiting for death in five years. After all, without his charm value maxed out, if the myriad races invaded, he wouldn’t be spared by those empresses, Divine Venerables, and holy maidens… He’d be doomed.
“Not going back isn’t an option, but I need to tell you something. When I take you out for dinner later, you mustn’t speak!”
“Why? Why can’t I talk?”
“You just need to know that if you speak, you’ll be turned into soup!”
“!! Why, Mama? Is she discriminating against us?”
“Just listen, stay by my side, and if you dare say a word, I’ll send you back and never bring you here again!”
“Whimper, okay.”
After warning Qing, Chen Fei prepared to take her out for a meal. As he reached the table, he picked up his phone and suddenly paused. It was a message from Lin Mumu.
“Fei, I can’t come over to your place to play games anymore.”
Chen Fei frowned. Could it be because of her parents? He quickly replied, “What’s going on?”
Then, Chen Fei took off his concealment cloak and headed out with Qing.
…
Qing was cradled in Chen Fei’s arms, her little eyes filled with excitement as they walked down the street. Her head turned left and right, her mouth opening repeatedly as if wanting to speak, but she remembered Chen Fei’s words and swallowed her thoughts.
Chen Fei brought Qing to the small restaurant where he used to dine with Lin Mumu. He ordered a few home-style dishes and began eating heartily. Qing was munching on a piece of meat Chen Fei had given her earlier.
Nearby, a few middle-aged men were discussing something. Chen Fei hadn’t intended to eavesdrop, but he overheard them talking about a psychiatric hospital.
“Man, Lin Psychiatric Hospital is really in a bad spot. A super killer went on a rampage inside, killing nearly twenty people in one day!”
“That’s truly awful. I heard the owner is getting blasted by the victims’ families, not to mention the millions in compensation.”
“Yeah, it’s a real mess. The killer is a psychiatric patient, so they can’t even sentence him to death. Apparently, he’s just being sent to a prison, no real danger to his life.”
“Seriously, can psychiatric patients just get away with murder?”
“Well, the Lin Family is just unlucky! It’s also due to their poor supervision and management. Don’t forget, that’s twenty lives lost! Even psychiatric patients have rights!”
“Looks like Lin Psychiatric Hospital is going bankrupt. I heard the president might just jump off a building, and there’s a chance of facing jail time.”
…
Chen Fei stopped in his tracks upon hearing their conversation. Lin Psychiatric Hospital was run by Lin Mumu’s family! He couldn’t believe that while he was busy playing games, such a thing had happened!
Without hesitation, Chen Fei pulled out his phone to check the news. Moments later, he had a rough understanding of the situation. Just yesterday, a psychiatric patient was admitted to Lin Psychiatric Hospital. Unexpectedly, this morning, the patient somehow produced a large knife and attacked forty to fifty people, killing twenty. He was eventually subdued, but the hospital was sued by the victims’ families. They faced not only hefty compensation but also potential imprisonment.
“No wonder…”
No wonder Lin Mumu’s message seemed off today. It turned out her family was dealing with this crisis. After paying the bill, Chen Fei quickly left with Qing and dialed Lin Mumu’s number.
Seeing Chen Fei’s serious expression, Qing didn’t disturb him.
“The number you dialed is currently on another call, please try again later…”
“The number you dialed is currently on another call, please try again later…”
“The number you dialed is currently on another call, please try again later…”
…
Chen Fei called repeatedly, but Lin Mumu’s phone was still busy. Frustration crept into his heart. He hurried back to his room and donned the concealment cloak.
“Qing, stay here. I need to go out for a bit!”
“Mama, is something wrong? I can help you.”
“Be good, just stay here.”
“Mama, I really can help. Though my strength has diminished, I can still use illusion…”
Chen Fei looked at her and said, “I’m going to do something very important. If you come along, you must follow my instructions! Understand?”
His expression was serious, and Qing was startled by his demeanor for the first time. Her voice was soft as she said, “Mama, don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble.”
